Agreement. We continue to meet our contractual commitments
to the Government in every respect.
Our discussions with the Government are confidential, however the supply of vaccine in New Zealand was developed following consultation with the New Zealand Government and each agreement was based on the availability of doses and earliest schedule that could be provided at that time. The roll out of the vaccination program including the management of inventory is the responsibility of the Government. We continue to work closely with the Government to support their program and support any additional requests where possible.
